This was a cute one I picked up over on the WSFA website:
A first grade teacher explained to her class that she was an Alabama fan. She asked her students to raise their hands if they were Alabama fans, too. Not really knowing what an Alabama fan was, but wanting to be liked by their teacher, their hands flew into the air. There was, however, one exception. A little girl named Jane had not raised her hand.
The teacher asked her why she decided to be different. "Because I'm not an Alabama fan," she answered.
Hearing this, the teacher asked, "Well, then, what are you?"
"I'm a proud Auburn fan!" the girl said.
The teacher was more than a little perturbed at this information, and her face grew slightly red. She asked Jane, "Why are you an Auburn fan?"
"Well, my dad and mom are Auburn fans, so I'm an Auburn fan, too," she responded.
The teacher grew even more agitated. "Jane! That's no reason!" she said loudly. "What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was an idiot!? What would you be then?"
Jane smiled and said, "Then I'd be an Alabama fan!"
